It's a common name in Sri Lanka where Sashi was born but never lived. Till a series of pear-shaped events saw her move back to where it all began with her white Australia husband in tow. Pear Tree is a stand-up comedy show about that. It traverses family, love, legacies, homes, knives, race, cats and kids - spliced with a little geopolitics and singing. As with her last show Boundaries (now on YouTube), Sashi's signature observational humour remains dedicated to taking absolutely nothing too seriously.
Local tip
He tīwhiri mō te rohe
Stick around for a bevvie or two at the bar. Not only are the tickets are cheap but the drinks at the bar won't break the bank either.
Getting there
